Best basic

A slim-knit turtleneck layers effortlessly under just about everything. Choose one in a thin fabric like merino wool, jersey, summer-weight cashmere or fine cotton. Start with the basics: black, grey, navy or white.

Keep it simple

Worn on its own, a fitted turtleneck looks super-chic tucked into this season’s trendy wide leg trousers or a classic fuller skirt (ballerina flats a must).

Dress to impress

Layer a black feather-weight turtleneck under a crisp white shirt. Finish your outfit with a pencil skirt and patent heels for a sophisticated office look.
